Well it's not a real stratocaster, I have to admit. I play guitar but I tend to play my Fender acoustic much more than the electric.

Love all the pet pics! Especially the kitties... Too cute...

Angel's mustache - I had no idea, but you're right. I just looked at her and she does seem to have a bit of one. Not quite as pronounced as in that pic though....

A friend of mine at work was showing me pics of her cats- 10 of them!!! Good thing they were all on one page...I was asking her how she was going to get them all to North Carolina when she moves in August, and she starts telling me which ones don't get along- it was so funny...

**crazycanuck** · 07-20-2006, 02:03 AM

Right,

Happy birfday lise!!! Did my parcel arrive yet??? Make that your birthday present!!!

I was just watching SBS & there was a segment on the news about stem cell research & mr bush using his veto. They interviewed Michael J fox & it appears his parkinsons has worsened. What a waste of a good actor/person/father/son.

My uncle passed away a few years ago from parkinsons. Again what a waste of a good life.

It's too bad about the veto...

I hope Houdini is ok!!! The trouble with these stories is you never find out the rest of the story! Interesting bandage.

From the Other Side: BAD NEWS - sleeping with a partner reduces men's brain power but strangely enough has no effect on women's mental agility.
Now I understand what happened with that guy from this spring! He got too stupid to keep dating me!

It's pouring rain here. Good news all around. Good for the earth, will no doubt cool off the air, and if it keeps up, the Cubs game will be rained out. Now, I love the Cubs. And I've been looking forward to going to the Cubs game with my brother, STBSIL, and mom for months. But I woke up tired and a bit sunburned from yesterday and thought: Oh thank goodness it's raining!

So if the rain stops, I'll be there for the 1:20 pitch. And if not, I'll be laying around the house! Woohoo!

CC-no package yet, but, as dachshund says, I can drag my birthday out all month!

**gringa loca** · 07-20-2006, 05:08 AM

How bout a Pisco Sour!???

I vote for celebrating ALL month long!

**Trek420** · 07-20-2006, 05:45 AM

Is that calendar month? If your b'day happens mid month do you finish out the month or does she get till 08/19?

**Lise** · 07-20-2006, 07:11 AM

Gringa Loca! Cuando llegaste tu a Thread Drift?! Bien venida!
(Gringa Loca! When did you arrive in TD?! Welcome!)

Yeah, the Pisco...I quit that stuff many years ago, but have fond memories from Lima. They also drank beer mixed with Coke, which is not as repugnant as it sounds, according to my memory...which may have gotten quite fuzzy by now...

Let's say I celebrate all lunar month. That suits my poly-religionist, would-be pagan leanings. So I've got until...August 16. Sounds good to me!

**bikerz** · 07-20-2006, 07:16 AM

Happy Birthday Month, Lise!

I spent some time in Chile and Easter Island - the big drink there was pisco and punch/kool-aid - NASTY!

Hey - any bets on whether TD will hit 2,000 posts or 20,000 views first? I'm amazed at how often there are *almost exactly* 10 times as many views as posts.

I have often pondered this myself. There are probably 5 of us who post here consistently, and another 5 who drop in to post a bit less regularly. But probably reading, if not always posting. So, there's 10 of us. At first I thought there was a school of lurkers out there (and there may be), but now I think it's mostly "us" doing the reading. 10 reads per post sounds about right. It is odd, though, how it is consistently read to a factor of 10, eh?

**maillotpois** · 07-20-2006, 07:33 AM

On the posts versus views - I think a lot of times I end up scrolling back and forth in the pages to catch up or remind myself of things folks have said. Maybe each of those scroll backs is a separate "view"?

Wow - I had to stop watching the Tour because I have a court conference call. So bummed - the stage was so exciting. I hate to stop watching. Stupid court.

Lisa - you definitely must celebrate for the whole week, if not the month. DH has started asking me what I want to do for my birthday, which isn't til December, but it is a "big" one (40). I am trying to sell a trip to France for the Tour next year.....

**Nanci** · 07-20-2006, 07:52 AM

Or, next year is a PBP year!!

My friend that is attempting the Death Valley Cup is out there for Badwater now- it starts Monday...(There are only 10 DVC finishers, ever!!) Want me to send you his updates??
